Divine Law versus Human Law
While it is often easier for people to turn to man-made laws and customs during times of crisis, as suggested in the Antigone, the Bhagavad-Gita convincingly demonstrates that it is more rewarding to turn instead to divinely inspired sacred duty.
Feasibly, one of the most protuberant themes in Sophocles’ Antigone, is the concept of the internal battle between God’s law or divine law and human/man’s law.
